 Best platform game series ever? July 27, 2008
Yeah, yeah - my title may be a bit of hyperbole but this series has been so consistently enjoyable that I must give it highest marks. I have played the first three games in the franchise and they have evolved perfectly. Strangely enough, I played them out of order, starting with 3 but quickly buying the first two because I was confident that they would satisfy. Each iteration improved significantly, with this game allowing smarter weapons and gadget interfaces than the first game, like allowing a pause during weapons selection or automatic gadget selection when you come to locked doors. Also, you can destroy more of your environment than in #1, an aspect of this game that is so pleasing when you just want to blow things up. One defect is how stingy the game is with bolts (the monetary unit), so that it takes FOREVER to buy the pricier items (I tried saving and saving to get the top-rank armor and never got it in my first go through). Luckily, you are allowed to keep your weapons through repeated runs through the game and you can keep upgrading weapons and armor until you get everything so replayability is high (but things get a little stale if you replay directly after a win - save it for later).
This game is a classic platformer and #3 is even better. Want to blow stuff up in satisfying (and sometimes humorous) ways? This is the game for you. Still waiting to buy the later ones...
 going commando June 26, 2008
unfortunately I was sold the '' greatest hits'' version of the game , which was really not what I wanted . The ad for the product clearly shows the original version playable with my code breaker . Needless to say that I am disappointed after wasting my money for an item , especially since I already own the ''greatest hits'' version
Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando Review June 25, 2008
Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando is an excellent follow up to the superb platformer Ratchet & Clank. The storyline is similar to the first game and basically involves the protagonists, (R&C you guessed it) journey as the attempt to rid the galaxy of an evil threat. The game features exciting fast paced combat, with quite a variety of guns at your disposal. There are also a variety of subquests in which you participate in activities such as bike racing, spaceship dogfighting, and manning a turret, to name a few. In addition to having more weapons than the original R&C, in this installation your weapons gain experienced when used, and eventually level up. Leveling up trnasforms the weapon in a positive way, making it more powerful and in some cases adds another functionality. Another improvement from the first game is the ability to strafe, allowing more in-depth control during situations where there can be tons of objects to dodge The difficulty of this game is just about right, and the sound and environment are incredibly well done. My only complaints are that the gameplay is slightly repetitive and, this ties into the second complaint, if you want to completely beat this game and get every weapon fully upgraded, you're going to have to do a lot of repetitive gameplay to acquire the necessary amount of bolts to purchase all the weapons. Overall, 9.1 out of 10, I strongly recommend this title to a newcomer or follower of the series, or anyone looking for a solid 20ish hour action adventure game.
Certainly worth the money June 8, 2008
Quirky humor tossed in with a steady stream of baddies to beat, burn and otherwise creatively defeat? That's my kind of game! The game presents a nice mix of genres, having racing, platform jumping and puzzle solving at different points of the story line.
The areas flow pretty smoothly, though I ran into a few that seemed darn near impossible to complete. With a good deal of persistence and lot of running around gathering bolts to upgrade the armor those areas get a lot easier to handle. Frame rate drops for no apparent reason on some planets. It was noticable but didn't really take away from game play.
I have the first three in this series. They're all fun and have replay value. You want to make sure you get all of the platinum bolts, upgrade all of the weapons and unlock all of the secrets!
Good April 5, 2008
A good game because it set a high standard for all the other ratchet and clank games to come, clearly this and the first one are the best in the series
